Abstract: A momentum jet injected into a confined container breaks up to “diffusive turbulenceâ€‌ after traveling a critical distance. It has been argued that an adverse pressure gradient developing within the container, acting ...

Abstract: Polar ice cap cracks open sporadically to form thin, long, narrow channels of open water, which are referred to as ?leads.? When the open water is exposed to ambient air in the winter, surface freezing occurs, thus rejecting ...

Abstract: The effects of background turbulence on gravity currents produced by lock exchange are investigated using a numerical model with the aim of understanding the fluid motions associated with coastal fronts. It is shown that, ...

Abstract: A stratified shear layer was generated in the laboratory by driving a turbulent mixed layer of depth D over a quiescent, deep dense layer. As a result, a density interface of thickness δb across which the buoyancy jump is ...

Abstract: Microstructure measurements were carried out on the shallow shelf of the Black Sea, from the sea surface to the bottom, using a free-falling BAKLAN-S profiler released from an anchored ship. A northeast to southwest transect ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the fluid motions resulting from the impingement of a descending thermal on a sharp density interface with the hope of gaining insight into lead-induced convection in ...

Abstract: Although the integral quantities of atmospheric turbulence are conveniently measured using sonic anemometers, obtaining relevant finescale variables such as the kinetic energy dissipation using conventional hot-film/wire ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a series of laboratory experiments aimed at understanding the frazil ice growth in polar regions during the summer whence a freshwater layer at temperature 0°C spreads ...
